An 18-year-old resident of Aketekyiwa near Cape Coast was on Friday sentenced to seven years imprisonment by a Cape Coast Circuit Court for defiling a fourteen year old Junior High School (JHS) form one student.<\/p>\n
The convict, Patrick Turkson, alias Ekow Atta, unemployed, had been in a sexual relationship with the victim for the past five months despite several warning from victim\u2019s mother.<\/p>\n
He pleaded guilty to the charge of defilement and was convicted on his own plea.<\/p>\n
Passing judgment, Mr. Kofi Seshie Ametewee, who presided over the court, advised Turkson to be of good behavior in prison and reform.<\/p>\n
Prosecuting, Assistant Superintendent (ASP) Sylvanus Dalmeida told the court that on Monday, May 4 this year, the victim who lives with her mother in the same town and had been dating Turkson against her mother\u2019s approval, left home unceremoniously.<\/p>\n
He said the victim\u2019s mother, found out, through her own investigation, that Turkson had taken her daughter to Akosombo in the Eastern Region.<\/p>\n
On Friday, May 8, the victim\u2019s mother reported the incident to the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU) of the Ghana Police Service in Cape Coast.<\/p>\n
He said when the victim returned, she was taken to the hospital for examination while Turkson was arrested after the report confirmed the victim had been defiled.<\/p>\n
